Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Welcome to Lyraboo. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User" or "you") and Private Entrepreneur Zhukovskyi Artem ("we," "us," or "our"), registered under the laws of Ukraine.

By accessing or using the Lyraboo mobile application (the "App") and its related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Lyraboo is an AI-powered application that allows users to upload text files (such as PDF and EPUB) and convert them into audiobooks using artificial intelligence technologies, including Google Gemini for text processing and Kokoro for speech synthesis.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, you may be required to create an account via third-party authentication (e.g., Google or Apple). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

4. User Content & Copyright

4.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership and intellectual property rights to the books, documents, and text files ("User Content") that you upload to Lyraboo. We do not claim ownership over your User Content.

4.2 License to Lyraboo

By uploading User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to host, store, reproduce, and process your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you (i.e., to convert text to audio). This license does not grant us the right to sell, distribute, or publicly display your content.

4.3 Representations and Warranties

You explicitly represent and warrant that:

1. You own the User Content or have obtained all necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to validly use and upload the content to the Service.
2. Your use of the Service to convert such content into audio does not violate the copyright, trademark, privacy, or other proprietary rights of any third party.
3. The content is not illegal, obscene, defamatory, or threatening.

4.4 Liability Disclaimer

Lyraboo acts solely as a technical tool for format conversion. We do not monitor or review User Content for copyright compliance. You are solely responsible for the content you upload. We explicitly disclaim any liability for copyright infringement committed by users of the Service.

5. AI Disclaimer

Our Service utilizes advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to generate audio. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. Accuracy & Hallucinations: The AI implementation (including LLMs used for text processing) may produce errors, mispronunciations, incorrect intonations, or unintended alterations to the text ("hallucinations"). We do not guarantee that the generated audio will be an exact word-for-word reproduction of the uploaded text, especially when using features that involve script rewriting or voice assignment.
2. No Human Review: The conversion process is automated and not reviewed by human editors.
3. No Training: As stated in our Privacy Policy, we instruct our AI providers not to use your specific User Content to train their public foundation models.
4. Data Processing: Your text is transmitted to third-party AI providers (such as Google Gemini) explicitly for the purpose of text analysis, character identification, and script preparation. This processing is performed solely to deliver the multi-voice audio features.

6. Payments & Refunds

6.1 Subscriptions

Lyraboo offers subscription plans and one-time purchases ("Paid Services") to access premium features.

6.2 Payment Processing

All financial transactions are handled separately by the platform you use to download the App (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). We do not collect, store, or process your credit card or banking information.

6.3 Refunds

Because payments are processed by third-party app stores, Lyraboo cannot issue refunds directly. All refund requests must be submitted directly to Apple or Google and are subject to their respective refund policies:

7. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service to:

1. Upload content that promotes hate speech, violence, discrimination, or illegal acts.
2. Distribute malware, viruses, or harmful code.
3. Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App.
4. Abuse or flood the Service with an excessive number of requests (e.g., via bots or scripts).

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Lyraboo app (excluding User Content), including our logo, design, software, code, and trademarks, are the exclusive property of Zhukovskyi Artem.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material on our Service infringes upon your copyright, please notify us immediately.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach these Terms, particularly regarding the Acceptable Use Policy or Copyright provisions.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Private Entrepreneur Zhukovskyi Artem, his contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from or arising out of:

1. Your violation of these Terms;
2. Your use of the Service;
3. Any User Content you upload, including but not limited to any claim that your content infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party.

(Note: This means if someone sues us because of your content, you are responsible for our legal costs.)

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

1. No Indirect Damages: Private Entrepreneur Zhukovskyi Artem shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill.
2. Liability Cap: In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising out of the use of the service exceed the amount you have paid to us for the service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the events giving rise to such liability, or fifty U.S. dollars ($50.00), whichever is greater.

13. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Lviv, Ukraine.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

15. App Store Terms

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that:

1. These Terms are concluded between you and Lyraboo, not Apple.

4. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and has the right to enforce them against you.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes via the App or email. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
